Deployment Solution
Details
Function: Works with the -old switch to set the partition size (in MB) for
hidden BootWorks partitions. The minimum size is 5 MB, which is the
default.
Note
If you install embedded BootWorks (new style for 4.x versions), this switch
does not apply. A 5MB embedded partition is always installed.
Example: To set the BootWorks partition size at 10 MB for a hidden
partition, type
bwinst -s10 -old
Function: Installs a hidden (old style) BootWorks partition instead of an
embedded (new style) partition. The default size is 5 MB. To install a larger
partition, use the -s switch.
Note
When this partition is installed, it will overwrite any data on the drive it is
installed to. Ensure the drive is empty, or upload an image of the drive, and
then download it to a different drive after BootWorks is installed.
Example: To install a hidden BootWorks partition of 30 MB, type
bwinst -s30 -old
Function: Runs BootWorks install in "quiet mode," so no user input is
required to complete the install. This switch is intended for use with
unattended installs, so you should use it in conjunction with the -f switch to
install from a file instead of disks.
Since there are no prompts, bwinst makes the following decisions/
assumptions.
If a partition is found, you will not be asked if you want to move or
overwrite the partition. BootWorks will automatically overwrite the partition
and existing data will be erased.
You will not be prompted for the second BootWorks disk. You will see a
message that a file could not be found.
If you are installing an embedded partition, it is assumed that NT Service
Pack 4 is installed.
Example: To install BootWorks unattended from a boot directory on a
network drive, type
bwinst -q -f=f:\bootfile
